Hey all, I have an 89 I'm buying a head for. My memory is telling me that it's a protruding valve type but want to make sure; the head manufacturer wants me to confirm. I don't have the engine apart yet.

I gather that adjustment of the alternator to tension the belt is so difficult because they use the same engine...

Another pro tip: From all the searching ive done on here about tensioning alternator belts everyone says drop the lower skid plate and do it from underneath. Well you really do not need to do that. I removed the fan shrouds, took the fan off the clutch (4 10mm bolts) and all you do is kneel in...

Thank you immensely for the post about skipping teeth on the timing belt. That was the exact problem. I lined everything up,followed your instructions, and fixed the problem without trouble. You've saved me from so much stress and wasted time.

I recently had the odious challenge of retrofitting a Pajero 4d56T engine into a Delica, and I thought I’d describe the difference between the two engines in case anyone else ever has to do this. I looked all over the web and couldn’t find anywhere that described this, yet according to the boys up...
